Correct Answer: 4.82
Explanation:
R = (100 x I)/( P x T)
Correct Answer: 237.55
Explanation:
Cash price = $3695
Deposit =1/3 of $3695 = $1231.67
Loan amount = $3695.00 ? $1231.67 = $2463.33
Total cost of loan = $25.97 × 104= $2700.88
Interest charged = total amount ? loan
I = A ? P
= 2700.88 ? 2463.33
= 237.55
Correct Answer: $82
Explanation:
Total repayment amount = $1600 + $368
= $1968
= $82
regular payment= total amount/number of repayments
Correct Answer: 2360
Explanation:
I = (P x r x t)/100
I = $360
A = P+I
A = 2360
Correct Answer: 37500
Explanation:
I = (p x t x r)/100
Correct Answer: $170
Explanation:
Exact interest, I= prt = $8000 × 0.085 × 90/365 = 167.67
Ordinary Interest, I= Prt = $8000 x 0.085 x 90/360 = 170
Correct Answer: 6%
Explanation:
I=prt
Correct Answer: 756
Explanation:
I=prt
Correct Answer: 14.25
Explanation:
I=prt
Correct Answer: 7401.22
Explanation:
With slight modifications, the basic formula can be made to deal with compounding at intervals other than annually.
Since the compounding is done at six-monthly intervals, 4 per cent (half of 8 per cent) will be added to the value on each occasion.
Hence we use r = 0.04. Further, there will be ten additions of interest during the five years, and so n = 10. The formula now gives:
V = P(1 + r)10 = 5,000 x (1.04)10 = 7,401.22
Thus the value in this instance will be £7,401.22.
In a case such as this, the 8 per cent is called a nominal annual
rate, and we are actually referring to 4 per cent per six months.
